Has anyone suceeded in propagating Hovenia dulcis from seeds? How did
you manage to grow them? I live near Grenoble in the French Alps. Do
you think I could grow them in a (big enough) pot?

Thank you for taking the time to read and answer this.

Sincerely,

No, I have no experience of this but I found this info for you which is a
starting point.

Seed - germinates freely if sown as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame[200].
Stored seed should be scarified and sown in early spring[113], it may not
germinate for a year. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when
large enough to handle and grow on for at least their first winter in a
greenhouse. Plant out in late spring after the last expected frosts and give
some winter protection for their first couple of years outdoors.
